Disclaimer: The author of this story owns nothing of Tenchi Muyo and its characters.

A/N: Well this is basically my first time to actually ever write a story, so please be nice.

Firstly I would like to say that I have seen many of the Tenchi episodes and have read many stories. Once I even went through all the stories in TMFFA (I didn't read them, I merely checked to find some of the stories that seemed appealing to me).

I am a Tenchi/Tsunami or Sasami (grown up) fan by heart. There is no other couple in the series I would rather Tenchi be with, besides Kiyone. Or maybe even an OC. But that doesn't mean I don't read other stories where Tenchi chooses a different girl, like for example: Kiyone, Sakuya, Washu, even Tokimi.

I absolutely despise Ryoko and I am disappointed in the amount of stories where she gets Tenchi. I lost interest in her after reading many of those stories and seeing her personality. No offence to any others who like that couple, but just because I don't like her doesn't mean I'm going to insult her. I'm a fair person. I even respect that she has a soft side.

I would like to say hi and thank you to all those authors out there who have inspired me so much with their wonderful stories which include: ShawnStanford or NetSerfer with his story 'Here in the Space Between us', Lighthawk demon 'The Darkness within' and the 'Return to Darkness', Dour Morose your wonderful poems and many others I can't remember.

I welcome every TenchiTsunami/Sasami or Tenchi/Kiyone fans out there to have a shot at reading this. And to all those who just like to read different stories, I welcome you too.

This is TenchiTsunami/Sasami by the way. Enjoy.

Note: There will be a few changes in the story. First of all Tenchi was 16 when all the girls came to live with him. Sasami was 13 and Kiyone came 2 years later. I will also be changing Kiyone a little.

The Chronicles of the Lighthawk: The Prince and the Goddess

Chapter 1: The Household

It was a normal day at the Masaki house. Well, as normal as it could get. The sun was rising with all its glory, showering the place with its magnificent light. The smell of breakfast wafted through the airmaking those who smelt the divine aroma, sniff the air appreciatively.

In one of the large rooms slept a young adult with Raven-black hair. Being victim to the smell of breakfast, he stirred around a little before slowly opening his eyes. Giving a small yawn, he slowly leaned up and stopped to stare right into the face of a floating woman.

"Good Morning Tenchi" she said in a very creepy voice.

"Morning Ryoko" he replied a little annoyed not at the least bit fazed by her sudden appearance. After four years of waking up and seeing the same face in front of him everyday, Tenchi Masaki was used to it. Getting up and walking out of his room, he walked to the bathroom to complete his morning rituals with Ryoko harassing him the whole way.

After finally getting downstairs with Ryoko still floating behind him, he moved into the dining room and greeted its occupants. He saw the familiar faces of all the other female residents who turned and greeted him back. There was Ayeka in her usual spot near the table suddenly arguing with Ryoko who appeared next to her, Kiyone the newest resident of the household, Mihoshi the ditz who was currently bouncing to the breakfast table followed by the young scientist Washu who looked a little miffed for some reason. None of them had changed much during these past few years; they all looked the same as usual.

Except her…

Sasami walked in carrying two plates of food. If any other Jurian were in the room, they would have mistaken her as the Goddess Tsunami. And she really was a Goddess. She had grown much taller and was only below Tenchi's forehead. Her hair which used to be in two pig tails now cascaded down her back like a flowing river. Even with the Kimono she had on couldn't conceal the fact that she had an attractive figure with curves in all the right places. She really was a splitting image of Tsunami.

Tenchi just continued staring at her from where he was standing. Sasami noticed Tenchi looking and turned to smile at him.

"Good Morning Tenchi" she spoke in a very cheerful voice.

"Good Morning to you Sasami" he replied in a slightly soft tone.

She motioned him to the table and he followed. Sasami had made a large breakfast as usual with different assortments of Japanese food. Katsuhito had joined them this morning and was currently speaking with Ayeka. Everyone began eating the delicious meal while small conversations began around the table. Tenchi took a glance at Sasami across from him and saw her looking at him already. They locked eyes for a moment before they both blushed and looked away. No one noticed this exchange except Washu who had a knowing smile and Katsuhito who looked indifferent to his usual emotionless face, but his eyes shone with amusement.

"Well I have to go work in the fields. Great breakfast by the way Sasami" he praised while he got up from the table smiling at the blue-haired princess. A pink tinge appeared on her face as she thanked Tenchi.

"Yeah Sasami… The food… Is great!" Mihoshi spoke while still taking large gulps of food and in the process taking large bites of her bowl and unknowingly eating it! Everyone at the table sweat dropped, looking at the ditz.

"MIHOSHI!" Kiyone yelled at her partner. "Do you know what you are doing?"

"What is it Kiyone?" she asked in that helpless voice of hers. "Oh please don't tell me I'm doing something wrong because I'm trying very hard not to make mistakes ever since those criminals escaped from us during patrol. Is it because I'm eating your share of the food is it Kiyone? Are you still hungry? Do you want me to try and cook you something to eat? Oh but I'm not sure how to cook, I haven't tried cooking since I was very little but I'm sure Sasami can lend me a few cook books to use or maybe you can try cooking Kiyone…Oh why don't we just ask Sasami to help us instead because I remember the last time you tried to cook and it tasted funny and I'm very sure Sasami is more than willing to help us don't you think Kiyone?"

Mihoshi bubbled out brightly while Kiyone clenched her fists in anger and frustration.

Tenchi looked on in embarrassment before walking away. "Tenchi remember practice this afternoon!" Katsuhito shouted. "Okay Grandpa" he said before walking out.

It was hard work in the fields both working and trying to keep Ryo-Ohki from eating the carrots, so Tenchi was glad when he was finished and headed back for lunch. There he saw Sasami just as she noticed him. They both couldn't help but blush and look away grateful that no one was there yet to notice them. They both made eye contact again until Tenchi decided to speak.

"Hey Sasami where is everyone?" he asked with the slight tinge that was still evident on his face.

"Oh sister and Ryoko are coming, Kiyone and Mihoshi are still on patrol and will return later on for dinner and washu is in her lab. And speaking of her, do you think you can go get her?

"Go get washu huh!" he said while scratching the back of his head a little worried for his safety.

He walks to the cupboard under the stairs and knocks before opening the door. "Washu, time for lunch" he yells before ducking a mechanical arm reaching out to grab him. "Hah you have to do better than that" he shouted before running off with a speed that would impress an athlete.

Later on Tenchi was walking up the stairs to the shrine with a bokken in his hand. 'Why am I still practicing' wondered Tenchi 'He knows I can beat him now so why bother? It was true.

Tenchi was now better than his Grandfather in Swordsmanship; he was much faster and much stronger. He had even learnt martial arts and hand to hand combat.

After the events of Kagato and Doctor Clay, Katsuhito decided to teach some of the things he had learnt over the seven hundred years he had resided on Earth. He felt that in order to protect the ladies, he needed to further Tenchi's training. He even taught him how to meditate properly so he could have better focus during battle. Tenchi was grateful of course, even though he had to endure all the pain that came with it. During his spare time, he usually browses through some of the martial arts books that he bought and learned different styles and techniques.

Tenchi also practiced on the summoning of the Lighthawk Wings. Using his meditation skills, he searched deep inside himself, trying to unleash the power he held inside. It was hard of course. He quickly learned that the Lighthawk Wings could only be summoned for a need, not a desire. Concentrating hard and practicing each day to call on the wings, he was met with little success each time in the past. The first few times he tried he was met with the same result: nothing. But further practicing allowed him to create transparent bluish shapes until after a year; he was finally able to summon them by will. But he didn't stop there, training with the wings alone, he was somehow able to create a few techniques of his own astounding his Grandfather. With his increase in power and strength, he had more frequent 'visits' to Washu's lab, effectively annoying the rest of the alien girls.

With all the training and work Tenchi and undergone, he was no longer a scrawny little teenager. Now he had a body that made girls weak in the knees. Not only was he muscular, he had grown taller and was standing at six foot and his face now looked more defined and handsome than before.

Not only did he grow through a physical change, but a personality change to top that. He is still the kind hearted and polite person they all knew. But now, he had grown up and was no longer nose bleeding when Ryoko liked to show her 'assets' to him (A/N don't get me wrong, I think its very funny when he does it, but I really didn't like the idea of him as a wimp). His father for some reason even gave him a few 'books' and forced him to read them. Tenchi couldn't help but admit that it was strangely interesting and very intriguing. Not only did he know how to fight, he knew how to pleasure a woman.

Right through the afternoon Tenchi and his Grandfather practiced. Both of them as swift as the wind, their movements as graceful as water. One of the things Tenchi noticed when training with his Grandfather was the fact that both of them were using the same style which meant their moves were identical as well as predictable. Tenchi had quickly changed and adapted a new style, his own style and his grandfather had lost every duel to him since then.

Tenchi swiftly dodged to the left avoiding a blow to the head and had to counter a horizontal slash courtesy of Katsuhito. Katsuhito slashed at his mid-section and would have made contact had Tenchi not jumped up high in the air. Focusing on his power, Tenchi willed himself to float slowly to the ground. With Tenchi's increased power, he was able to move his body in ways that would make anyone on earth speechless.

Once Tenchi's feet touched the ground, he looked towards his grandfather who was looking tired and puffed out while Tenchi was still full of energy. When finally Katsuhito regained his breath he spoke.

"That is enough for today Tenchi, you are doing quite well" he praised "you are progressing every day. But you still have a lot to learn" he spoke calmly with an emotionless expression.

Tenchi knew he was right. Even though he was better than his grandfather, Katsuhito still possessed far more knowledge than him.

Tenchi nodded, slightly pleased with the compliment. Katsuhito saw something out of the corner of his eye and chuckled. Tenchi shifted his gaze to where his grandfather was looking and to his surprise, he saw Sasami. The blue-haired princess, who was watching the duel, was surprised to see them notice her. She came out of her hiding place and looked at the ground embarrassed.

Still chuckling, the former prince of Jurai spoke. "Well Tenchi, you might as well go home with Sasami. I'll come down later when its dinner time." And with that he walked back into the shrine.

The walk down the shrine steps was a silent one as they continued their trip back to the house. It was Sasami who finally broke the silence. "You were great at practice today" her face colored when she accidentally let it out. Tenchi was embarrassed and replied thanks on instinct while scratching the back of his head. They continued to make small conversations and give one another appreciative glances when the other wasn't looking.

Once they reached the bottom, an explosion rocked the place in front of them. They looked on ahead to see Ryoko and Ayeka fighting while making spiteful comments. Tenchi could only grumble and shake his head in frustration.

"Tenchi is mine princess!" Ryoko yelled.

"What do you mean yours, I don't see your name on him and as I recall, he hasn't given you a ring and made his vows" she yelled back.

"Not yet! It could be any day now"

"More like never!"

"Oh yeah! Well we shall see than you big royal pain!"

"We shall see indeed you demon!"

Oh they shall see indeed. They shall see that Tenchi was never interested in them and they shall see that they never had a ghost of a chance!
